The second Linz derby of the season gets underway Friday night in the Stadion der Stadt Linz as the Black-and-Whites play host to the Blue-and-Whites with a chance to regain the top spot in the Erste Liga.

On Monday night Linz face their first decisive game during their stint in the Erste Liga, content with nothing less than a first place finish at the end of the season to get them back in the Bundesliga.

Linz surged into second place after a trio of strikes in the first half-hour gave them a vital away-win, with defender Shawn Barry registering 27 minutes as a second-half substitute to help secure the three points.
